Review

"This edition represents a significant improvement and modernization of a text which was already the best of its kind. The authors have done a wonderful job, particularly with integrating a computerized statistical tool. I commend them."

"I always felt comfortable with the examples used in the textbook because they are usually real-life data. . . .The Tenth Edition brought a welcome change by adding a few 'feel-at-home' type of problems, which help students' understanding of the concepts they are about to learn at first. This is a great idea. I believe in using examples whose contents are familiar (easy to understand) to students so that they can relate themselves to the problem at hand. . . . I would adopt the textbook upon completion."
